I’m looking to do the exact same thing:
- self-contained RGBW down light in soffit.
- 90% of the time it’ll be white, only change colour for certain occasions.
- must look professional / polished
I found these 24V RGBW downlights which just have a 5-wire connection so they can be controlled by a single controller similarly to LED strips. I bought a few H801 controllers and will be modifying the firmware according to this post.
For some reason there aren’t many “dumb” RGBW downlights with just a 5-wire connection. They all seem to come with individual wifi drivers. I don’t need individual control of each light, I just want them all connected to the same controller.
